Oxymoron Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Hi, I've just had to buy two new wheel trims to replace 2 damaged when my wife hit the kerb the other day! :( :angry: Total cost from Citroen £29.94 inc. vat for the 2.Suppose it could have been worse, at least I didn't specify the alloy wheels! I'm keeping the damaged ones to put on the car every thursday, when my wife has the car for the day! :blink: Cheerz. Quote
numbersix Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 You just do not listen Oxy!! Your good lady said that the kerb hit her. These pavements are a menace, and are more agile than you think! Be seeing you!! Quote
tronboy Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 I DID specify the "Estoril" alloys, and I wish I hadn't. The design is such that they are proud of the tyre wall and they're very easily damaged. They are now a mashed-up mess of white jagged metal.... Not because i'm a particularly careless driver, but I do drive 36,000 miles a year....... Tron Quote
StephenM Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 2 front trims were scuffed to bits so went for michelin wheeltrims - £29.99 for 4, very nice - look more like alloys without the price tag or chav attracting potential! Keeps the french theme. Quote

Oxymoron Posted October 21, 2004 Author Posted October 21, 2004 Hi, I thought about some aftermarket wheel trims, but in the end decided that 'cos the Blingo is only 6 months old, I wanted to keep the original look. In my opinion, the wheel trims look more like alloy wheels than the fussy looking alloy option! Cheerz. B) Quote
